[bigfoot5415]

Based on our schedule next 10 games, I can easily see us solidifyng the 3 seed

2 seed. Bucks play a few tough games before the break.

FWIW the Lakers held off the Knicks. Thanks BronBron.

 

[Futuredome]

Anything less than a 2 seed would be disappointed

Cavs vs Spurs highlights:

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Garland was terrible

Niang was worse. 0-9 from the field. His only 2 points were on technical free throws. But, yeah, Garland could not get going at all.

The big news, bigger than the win, was Mobley going 3-for-3 on 3's and also hitting a 15-foot jumper. He made all four jump shots he attempted and ended up with a line of 28/10/3 in just his third game back. If he can continue to hit those outside shots - look out!

Allen had another monster game with 26 pts, 16 boards, and a team high +26. He and Mobley still fumbled a few passes, but we're probably stuck with that.

LeVert quietly was a +20 in 25 minutes. As usual, he did a little of everything with a line of 10/5/6.

Wembanyama was impressive with 19 points and 14 rebounds as well as doing things nobody else can do. He was a +10 in 27 minutes, meaning the Spurs were a -26 in the 21 minutes he was on the bench. The Spurs are going to be unbeatable for a decade starting perhaps as soon as the 2025-26 season after they get three first round picks next year.

The Knicks lose at home to the Lakers. We're in third place and one game out of second.

Garland fits the Spurs. He can lob all day to Wemby.

The biggest joke is that Niang was a +5 and Mobley was a -7. Simply illuminates the absurdity and relevance of that statistical marker

Garland fits the Spurs. He can lob all day to Wemby.

that would be a deadly combination. As I recall, Pop did a lot with a little quick point guard and a dominant big a few year back. But I don't think there is anything else on the Spurs that would entice us to make that deal.

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Cavs won by a comfortable 16 points but it could have been a lot worse; the Cavs missed 31 three-pointers and shot just 29% from deep. On all shots, Garland, Strus, Wade, and Niang combined to go 3-for-23. Wade and Niang did not get a single field goal in 11 shots while Garland had just one bucket in 23 minutes.
